UNDER-HOOD LIGHT SWITCH

Postby BEARKILLER » Sat Jun 30, 2007 9:40 am

:idea: :idea: While repairing the rat damage, under the hood of the son's truck, I had to cut in two and re-splice/insulate the wires on the truck side of the hood-light plug.

While I had the wires cut, anyway, I spliced in leads to the HOT (black/red-stripe) wire and connected them to a switch that I mounted on the fire-wall, just above the blower-motor.

Now, if the hood needs to be open for an extended time, the switch can be flipped OFF.

Prior to this modification, it was necessary to un-plug at the connector, in order to kill the light.

Please don't tell me if there was already a switch, somewhere, that already did this. :roll:

Yeah, but it works when you open the hood! :wink: I usually try to pull the bulb, after it's been on for 1/2 an hour! :shock: :cry: Good idea Bear!

Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.
